Definitions

  • the invention concerns a process for the manufacture of a biosensor; a biosensor manufactured according to said process; a biosensor and method for taking a biological measurement comprising the use of said biosensor.
  • biosensors Sensors for detecting biological molecules, termed biosensors, are widely used.
  • a large variety of biosensors have been developed for sensing or detecting biological molecules with increasing resolution and specificity.
  • a biosensor is generally defined as an analytical device which converts a biological or biochemical response into a quantifiable and processable signal. Quantification of biological or biochemical parameters is commonplace in medical, biological, environmental, and biotechnological applications.
  • biosensors rely on the general principle of generating an electrical signal if the presence or absence of a biological molecule is detected. Also called affinity biosensors, they function on the principle whereby an immobilized receptor binds a target biomolecule, producing a measurable chemical change at a localized surface. This binding event is then transduced to a quantifiable output. For electrochemical biosensors, the measured signal is transduced into either a current or voltage output, which is then amplified and processed using peripheral electronics. Electrochemical biosensors provide an attractive way to analyse the content of a biological sample due to the direct conversion of a biological event into an electronic signal.
  • Electrochemical biosensors can broadly be classified into two groups: faradaic and non-faradaic.
  • faradaic biosensors reduction and/or oxidation reactions among electroactive species functionalised to a sensor substrate take place at an electrode leading to the generation of an electrical current.
  • the faradaic sensors require the presence of redox probes and the application of direct current (DC) conditions to promote the development of the electrochemical reactions.
  • non-faradaic sensors do not require the use of redox couples and, consequently, no reference electrode is necessary because no DC potential is required, as the impedance of a non-faradaic sensor arises from the double layer capacitance at the surface of the sensing layer.
  • the non-faradaic sensor is a promising candidate for real-time applications because it does not require the presence of redox couples making this sensor type more amenable to miniaturization and offering ease of use for direct detection of the target biomolecules.
  • Non-faradaic electrochemical biosensors are well known.
  • the signal transduction and the general performance of electrochemical sensors are often determined by the surface architectures that connect the sensing element to the biological sample at the nanometre scale.
  • a maximum retention of native target binding efficacy is desired as they are integrated into a surface architecture at a density that is also optimized for capture efficiency.
  • converting the biological information into an easily processed electronic signal is challenging due to the complexity of connecting an electronic device directly to a biological environment.
  • Graphene is an allotrope of carbon in the form of a two dimensional hexagonal crystal lattice with notable electronic properties and, as such, has gained increasing interests for use in biosensor technology; large surface-to-volume ratio, unique optical properties, excellent electrical conductivity, high carrier mobility and density, high thermal conductivity and many other attributes can be greatly beneficial for sensor function.
  • the structuring of graphene has advanced and the chemical modification of graphene has been investigated.
  • surfaces of material such as graphene are functionalised with biological molecules.
  • graphene is today not a preferred choice for biological applications because of its low affinity for biological molecules.
  • the use has been limited to detect biological materials known to be present in larger concentrations owing to the fact that the effective surface area achievable for functionalisation with biological molecules (as receptors) is low.
  • a process for the manufacture of a graphene sensor for detecting a target molecule in a sample comprising:
  • sensing layer(s) optionally coating at least a part of the sensing layer(s) with at least one anchor substance having a binding affinity for a capture reagent; and e) coating the sensing layer(s) of parts c) or d) with at least one capture reagent that bind said linker and/or said anchor substance to provide a sensor with a sensing layer comprising immobilized capture reagent on the surface.
  • Reference herein to vertically aligned graphene sheets refers to deposited graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) that are provided in an oblique or perpendicular arrangement with respect to the plane of the substrate surface.
  • GNPs graphene nanoplatelets
  • said GNPs are arranged perpendicular, or substantially perpendicular (i.e. ⁇ 10°), to the surface of the substrate.
  • Such non-parallel arrangements dramatically increase the surface area of the sensing layer(s) available for biosensing (in comparison to a conventional arrangement in which deposited GNPs would lay flat, i.e. parallel to the surface of the underlying substrate), thus improving sensor sensitivity and dynamic range.
  • the presence of vertically aligned graphene sheets can be verified by quantification of the surface roughness of the sensing layer(s).
  • surface roughness is quantified by the deviations in the direction of the normal vector of a real surface from its ideal form. If these deviations are large, the surface is rough; if they are small, the surface is smooth.
  • Surface roughness can be measured by various means including, but not limited to, a measurement of the surface profile made with a profilometer such as white light interferometer. In this manner, we have observed that a conventionally applied / parallelly arranged GNP surface layer has a surface roughness of no more than 2.5 ⁇ 0.5 pm.
  • analogous, vertically aligned, graphene sheets have a surface roughness of at least 5 pm, more preferably at least 10 pm, and more preferably still at least 15 pm. Further, the surface roughness was shown to be consistent across the surface of the sensing layer in that a variation of no more than ⁇ 25%, and preferably no more than ⁇ 15%, was observed across the surface of the sensing layer(s). Therefore, in preferred embodiments, the vertically aligned graphene sheets have a surface roughness of from 5-30 pm, more preferably 10-25 pm, and most preferably 15-20 pm variation of no more than ⁇ 25%, and preferably no more than ⁇ 15%.

  • the GNPs are provided with a particle size of less than about 10 pm, and more preferably less than about 1 pm.
